“On December 15, 2023, we wrote imploring that you recuse yourself from any participation in the case of United States v Trump, given your wife’s intimate involvement in Mr Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and to obstruct its certification. This week, we are compelled to write to you again. This time, we must urge you to recuse yourself from any involvement in the case of Anderson v Griswold, because your impartiality is reasonably questioned by substantial numbers of fair-minded members of the public, who believe you wife Virginia (‘Ginni’) Thomas’s substantial involvement in the events leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and the financial incentive it presents for your household if President Trump is re-elected, are disqualifying…”

” When summoned to testify before the House January 6 Committee, your wife told the Committee that she attended the January 6 ‘Stop the Steal’ rally, where Mr Trump ginned up the attendees into a mob, which he then dispatched to the Capitol to ‘fight like hell’ to stop the electoral vote certification process. The January 6 rally morphed into the attack on the Capitol and on Congress, which the Colorado Court found to have been an insurrection, an act which disqualifies Mr Trump from having his name placed on the presidential primary election ballot in that state.”

“Not only did your wife attend the January 6 rally, but she was instrumental in planning it and bringing the insurrectionists to the Capitol. Your wife was one of nine board members for a conservative political group that helped lead the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement, a movement which culminated in the January 6 attack that the Colorado Supreme Court deemed an insurrection. It is unthinkable that you could be impartial in deciding whether an event your wife personally organized qualifies as an ‘insurrection’ that would prevent someone from holding the office of President,” says a letter sign by a group of House Democrats led by Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson.
